Echo Chamber: Lil B

"I'm not here just trying to outsmart somebody and do something witty. I call myself the human sacrifice, because no one else is going to push that line for the people. I'm going to do it, and they're going to look at me and say, 'Well, you know what? If that rapper can be himself and be free and be happy and still hold masculinity and love people and love flowers and just be happy being alive, well then, I can do that, too.'"

-- Lil B, hitting back at claims that his Coachella announcement to title his next album I'm Gay is a publicity stunt, in an interview with CNN (!). He also had this to say when asked about Chicago-area rapper Rhymefest recently taking shots at him: "Tell Rhymefest I actually wake up and I'm happy, and I'm positive and I love people. Ask Rhymefest, does he feel the same way?" (via CNN Entertainment)
